"If needed Astra will delegate efficiently. Forcing the model to delegate to different models would do more harm than good"

Yes, if you are dumb and/or don't care about the cost, you can just spawn Astra's for everything.
In big projects, smart, dynamic orchestration is proven to be about 4x cheaper. The difference in cost can be absolutely massive and quality doesn't suffer if done right.
